Oren, thanks for putting me on the right track. After alot of experimenting - I must have restarted X about 20 times - I have the problem partially solved. Since there is still some **strange behaviour**, I'll give some details. Maybe this will help someone else with a two wheel mouse - or maybe someone can suggest a better solution :-).

BTW, since I have a three button - two wheel mouse, I also tried "9". BUt the option did nothing. > option "ZAxisMapping". You should probably put there "4 5 7 8" This didn't work, but option "ZAxisMapping". "4 5 6 7" did > Try it, maybe it won't work well and one REAL button will scroll down, > then try another numbers. You can use 'xev' for nicer testings. Have > fun. Strangely enough, the second wheel behaviour is not consistent accross applications. I would have thought that if X takes care of the events, all applications would react the same waay, but this is not the case. In some apps the second wheel works as expected. In others it doesn't - or even works wrong. > About your second question, sounds like something you should modify in > the code, or convice the author to change this in the code. (Unless > there's an option to change that in KMail, I don't know it too well. use > evolution :) ). I haven't found any option to solve the problem in KMail. But here's the strangest thing of all. As I mentioned previously, KMail has three windows - message, message list and folder list. My question was how to get the proper window to scroll using the wheel - i.e. have scrolling in the window where the cursor is located. The default behaviour is to scroll only the message window, regardless of where the cursor is. Now here's the **wierd** thing. Now that the second wheel is working, one wheel scrolls the message window and the other scrolls the message list window (rather than doing the expected left-right scrolling). This happens regardless of where the cursor is. So, I guess this is **sort of** a solution - even if it is a bit **AKOOM**. //------------------------- Shlomo Solomon E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://come.to/shlomo.solomon Date: 18-Feb-2002 Time: 20:21:57 Message sent by XFMail on a LINUX Mandrake 8.1 machine //------------------------- ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
